Looks like both will be in town this weekend.. Along with Brown, Simmons, Hardeman, and Paris for 2014.

Kids want to play football at the teams noted above?

I mean, I understand wanting to get the academics at Virginia and the women at Arizona State, but fricking Utah and Washington? I'd rather go play football in Starkville than in a state full of Mormons and a state known only for grunge and rain (respectfully of course).

I feel pretty good about Willis. Really think he looks up to PP.

They'll be here this W/E. I think we'll get RJ, and Robinson committed this W/E. Probably know where PW will go(Silent) or elsewhere(but I feel he'll be in P&G, as of today). That should wrap up the Defensive backfield IMO. Hadn't seen Hootie on any lists, but like where we stand on all the Texas guys in that group.

My Projected Final 6:
Priest Willis (DB)
Rashard Robinson (DB)
Tim Williams (DE)
Kendall Beckwith (DE/LB)
Rickey Jefferson (WR)
Greg Gilmore (DT)

I most desire Willis, Robinson, and Williams. It is even strange to me that I feel this way because we don't need that much DB help especially since next year's class is going to be ridiculous, but Willis and Robinson would be huge gets for our secondary in the future IMO. Tim Williams speaks for himself. He is a freak. Next would be Gilmore because we NEED a DT.

Odd Men Out/Chose Other Schools/No Room Left:
Tahaan Goodman (USC)
Will Likely (possible fallback if one of the above doesn't work out)
Torrodney Prevot (TAMU)
Scott Pagano (Florida)
Ricky Seals-Jones (Texas)

My projected is almost the same as yours. I don't think LSU gets both Williams and Beckwith. That would leave 2 slots open if you go to 26. With those 2 slots, I would hope LSU could get a quality OL and either Prevot or Crayton, etc. I simply think RSJ is Texas bound and I never believed the inevitability of Willis and Goodman going to the same school. I agree that Goodman goes to USC but I don't see Willis going there. Sorry, my crystal ball is fogging up.

P.S. IF LSU can't get another verbal from another wanted OL, take Adam Taylor the RB. LSU is almost guaranteed to lose Ware and Ford after their JR seasons which leaves Blue (he says he will be back for 2 more more seasons), Hilliard, and Hill as the main backs entering 2013. With only Hill taking last year, going empty this year is pretty risky despite what is coming down the line in 2013 class. To my knowledge, LSU has 0 RBs committed in that class yet.

I think we have a good shot at RSJ, and a fighting chance at Vanderdoes(weak, but hope is alive). I think RSJ will see the QB play pick up this year, and look at the QB's coming in, and will love JJ much better than Barnes. Either one of those p/u's will take this class to a new level...

Forgot about Vanderdoes, but with 10 schools in his "cut down", who knows. Of course for comparison, Willis has 16 on his list but the vast majority of these he has barely mentioned in the past.

Yeah, I still think we aren't close enough and probably won't get that close to Vanderdoes to put him in my list. But who knows.

And I can honestly see why Willis is doing his 16 team deal, although it is ridiculous. It would appear to me to cut teams down in halfs (16, 8, 4, 2, 1) would be an easy way to weed out the schools you dont want to go to.

Think Willis will come down to NSD? Those selections make me more nervous than the 4th quarter of some football games.

What's the record for 4* in a class, because we could finish with 19 or 20 on rivals

I literally forgot Vanderdoes but would still include him...FOR NOW until he says otherwise. I have 0 problem with the way Willis has handled things. I have been following his comments about LSU and he has been very honest. He simply likes the visits, the recruiting process, etc. He hasn't hit the "prima donna" line in anything I've seen. And even when saying he and Goodman wanted to go to the same school, it was not a demand at all like you know who (RN). No, I do not think Willis will come down to NSD...not even that close. For one thing some of his most likely schools are filling up.

21, class of 2007 with 26 total commits...only 5 signees less than 4* that year.

To be honest, I bet there are several each year. Mostly guys on the east and west coast who LSU just takes a wild shot at. What can you lose really? I thought Willis might be one of them very early. After all, has LSU EVER signed 1 player out of Arizona? I don't remember any.
